From Impossible Dream to

Unstoppable Movement

Discover the story behind the movement that's proving we're all stronger together—watch the trailer that will change how you see community, then help us bring this story to the world.

More Than Steps is a feature-length documentary that follows lifelong friends Justin Skeesuck & Patrick Gray as they return to Spain’s legendary Camino de Santiago.

But this time, their story is much bigger.

What began as two friends tackling the impossible has grown into the Accessible Camino—a movement where people of all abilities come together to experience this ancient pilgrimage. Wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and crutches join hiking boots on the same path, reshaping what community and belonging can look like. This isn’t just about finishing a journey across Spain—it’s about tearing down barriers, rewriting the definition of normal, and showing the world the power of a shared journey.

“I’m beginning to see that this is so much more than steps.”

Past Accessible Camino Highlights

Day 6 – Accessible Camino 2024, The Final Stretch

On the final day into Santiago, the joy of reaching the square was matched by something even more powerful—many in the group returned to the square to celebrate with Divincenzo, a man they met days earlier who also navigates life with a disability. His encouragement lifted the group, and they had the chance to lift him. This is the heart of the Accessible Camino: facing challenges together, and choosing love every step of the way.

Day 2 – Accessible Camino 2022, Conquering the Roman Road

On one of the most challenging stretches of the Portuguese Camino, the group faced the ancient Roman Road—an uneven, rocky path that tests even seasoned pilgrims. For wheelchair users, it is a formidable obstacle. But through collective effort and unwavering support, pilgrims like Jeanine experienced the profound strength of community. This moment encapsulates the essence of the Accessible Camino: With all of us together, I am enough.
